As the lineage of GT-R performance continues, each version of the GT-R is tested against the most famous track in the world! Known as "the green hell", Nurburgring is the most difficult of all courses thanks to its varied corner camber, rate of turn, long straights, hills, jumps, and more. A true test of both machine and man, Nurburgring has gained global popularity due to its extensive use by automotive manufacturers, video games, and allowance of the general public to test their skills.
